ROLE OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF MILITARY LOGISTICS
ROLE OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF MILITARY LOGISTICS

Summary/Abstract: The improvement of logistics performance may require new technology and new information systems to ensure the optimal use of logistic assets and to optimise logistic flows but knowledge is what will transform logistic processes and will certainly allow the design and development of new operational concepts and capabilities. Knowledge management contributes to the organisational effectiveness of logistics structures across the full range of logistic support from production to in-service and operational logistics by enhancing timely and effective decision-making processes, responsiveness to changes through the effective assessment of operational requirements based on complete knowledge. The success of knowledge management in military organisations is measured through the contribution to the capacity of forces to sustain operations, coherence in defence and operational planning, development and use of new capabilities, improvement of working and operating methods.
